AN OBJECT LESSON.

Considering the importance the Indian
question is assuming In the consideration Of
philanthropic and Christian people, the
exhibit made by Captain Pratt, of Carlisle,
Pa, at the Philadelphia centennial was
the most striking and the most valuable
part of the great show. We give our read
ers the benefit of Mr.. Burdette's comments,
which represent faithfully the way the
exhibition affected all intelligent people:

stitutional parade In Philadelphia last

Missouri river, until every state In the

ages out of existence forever. In the neat
uniforms of their schools, trim and tidy as

land, marching steadily as soldiers,

ries, each dark skinned brave armed with a
slate, marched these dusky warriors from

NOT WELL TAKEN.

| The condemned Anarchists and theil
friends who denounce the authorities and
the law of Illinois for inficting penalty
upon the Chicago convicts upon the ides
that it is on account of the opinions they
entertained and promulgated, and not for
any overt act that they committed, and
that therefore the finding and sentence OF
the courts is unconstitutional, we say that
these people seem to have forgotten or
never knew that anarchistic teachings and
the language used in promulgating them is
not the first nor only Instance where free
dom of speech is abridged under state laws,
with penalties attached. The use of pro-
fuse and obscene language is prohibited by
the laws of every state, which according
to the Anarchist argument is an abridge-
ment of the right of free speech, hence ua
constitutional And, too, avowed infidels
are debarred the right to sit on the jury
The reason for this Is apparent; yet the
Anarchist would say that the law embrac
ing that provision is unconstitutional be-
cause 1t debars from the privileges of citi
zenship for opinions sake. Neither can
they set up the other constitutional plea
that the penalty assessed In
this case is excessive, even grant
ing that the prosecution was based
upon the teachings, the language, of the
condemned men. When we think of the
disastrous consequences that followed, the
inevitable result of such teaching, 1t Is diff
cult to conceive of a penalty that would be
too severe, or that would be commensurate |
with the offense as compared to the punish |
ment prescribed for the profaner or open |
nor yet the civil restrictions |
placed upon the man who denies the exis-
tence of the Deity.
We say, then, that anarchy has no case
on the grounds mentioned; but they were
not convicted upon that accusation. They
we're charged with and convicted upon the
charge of conspiracy against the lives of
citizens who were guilty of no offense
against them or others, and against the
property of the city, public and private. 1t
